My goal for this week’s CVS shopping is to grow the ExtraBucks (ECBs) I already have. The way this works is to use existing ECBs to generate ECBs of a greater value.
Items:
1 Right Guard deodorant, reg. $3.29, sale $2.99
1 L’oreal cleanser cream, reg. $6.99, sale $5.99 (free after ECBs)
Coupons used:
1 Right Guard manu. coupon – $1.00
1 L’Oreal manu. coupon – $1.00
ECBs – $6.00
Out of pocket expenses (including tax) = $1.16
ECBs generated = $7.99 ($2.00 from Right Guard, $5.99 from L’Oreal)
I spent $1.16 cash for $10.28 worth of merchandise and got back $7.99 in ECBs to replace $6.00 ECBs used.
Running Totals
Total merchandise = $523.53
Total out of pocket expenses = $201.90
Total savings = $321.63 (61%)
